    I'm still working on filling mine; I guess that last summation total will be a shock.

    I just broke the 200 mark (I'm at 210) in acquiring some dozen or so WW2 planes a friend wanted to trade - that 210 is majority Nexus/Ares, with a few F-Toys, New Ray, and Shapeways planes thrown in for good measure. Eighty percent of them are WW1 - it will always be my favorite period...

    I shall acquire more, I'm sure...

    All the best,
    Matt

    The counting's done (I hope; thinking I have a couple He-111s hiding somewhere):
    Nexus/Ares WW1: 318
    Nexus/Ares WW2: 252
    Shapeways (not counting "targets" like Bugs and V-1s): 142
    Models and F-toys waiting to be built: 38
    Resin: 21
    Skypilot diecast: about a dozen, I think (They're packed in a couple places)

    So official planes: 570
    Outsourced planes: 214+
    Total: 784+

    So, I have 75, Karl has 784+. I'll try to tell to Jitka: "Honey, do you see this little plane? OK, now imagine 10 instead of 1."
    Outstanding numbers, Karl. You have your own (Ch)Air Force!

    Oh Pete once you start playing WGS you will not look back. My WGS long since outstripped WGF in sheer volume.

    Not sure when I broke the 100 official planes barrier, but it was prior to the most recent release.

    Almost 350 official WGF and WGS, more than 150 unofficial aircraft.

    500 aircraft at a conservative average of $15 each collected over 8 years + cost of attendance to several interstate and local gaming conventions = .....MONEY WELL SPENT!!

  16. #166

    Up to 60 smaller planes now, 3 bombers, a barrage balloon, and 4 shapeways frames...and still adding.

  17. #167

    With my last BoB purchase I am now up to 133 WGS and 105 WGF. Total 238 with a few more I'd like to get.
    I know I won't be getting the complete set of WGF that is soon to be released but I might get a couple.

    Holy COW! About 120 WGF (1 Nexus, everything else ARES) and 30 WGS (all BoB related). It's funny how the actual numbers sneak up on one so swiftly and unsuspectingly! Had it not been for this poll, I never would have guessed...

  25. #175

    Default

    I don't have either a Schaeffer D.VII nor a Brumowski D.III. I do have all the rest in WGF, with a dozen repeats repainted.
    Plus 200+ Shapeways. And a half dozen F-toys.

    I haven't had an WGS game for 3 years though.

    I have not counted lately but I would say around 300 WW1 & WW2 even after a recent cull. But as I have been playing this game for at least 6 years what can you expect. but I do have 10 of Clippers models

    137 WWI planes from Wings of Glory and Wings of War and 8 Shapeways being painted 5 F-Toys planes Total of 150 planes.

    This poll is 5-1/2 years old.
    Might be time for an update ...

    Mine appears to be about triple of the high end of what I originally voted (which was the 100-199 range)

    Let's not resurrect this poll.

    Occasionally, SWMBO does browse through the Forum, and even I don't want to know the level of my addiction, let alone provide someone with ammunition about how much room I have taken up in the house and garage with 'junk'.

    PS: A poll might include Tripods, as well as BSG ships and accessories, if we really want to light off a domestic conflagration.

    No count, but as of right now I'm only missing the T&T Starter Ni.16 for one of everything WWI, and for WWII I have one of everything except the Squadron Packs, which are each two-or-more. This includes the house, the storage unit, and my stash waiting to ship at Miniature Market.

  36. #186

    Default

    I've at least two of everything WW1, now including the Gold and Silver Specials, but like DB above I lack the Tripe-pods Nieuport 16.

    WW2, no idea. Sporadic scatter-shot purchases when planes become available at good prices (my first two P-47s arrived today, less than £10 each BNIB) and a couple of large collections purchased but not yet absorbed.

    I need a decent spell of time to try to organise a count, but that would detract from much-needed painting time.

    I have ~ 100 WWI and ~130WW2 that I've painted, Shapeways, AIM and ARES repaints. I have ~one of each release with 2-10 extras here and there when I can get them on the cheap.

    Like Tim, no real count as that would take up painting time!

    Sounds like we need to find T&T-player partners to split a couple Starters with...

    Both Schaeffer and Brunowski acquired a while ago.

    It's looking like a paltry 245 for WGF currently. Now we're down to mostly hard-to-get items, but fun adding Shapeways. Lots of work in the queue!
